No nursery is complete without an old-fashioned music box to send baby to sleep. This one is brightly painted in non-toxic colors and made from long-lasting woods in a cheerful design that baby will love just as much as he or she grows into a toddler. Just make sure the mom-to-be hasn’t chosen carefully matching pastels for her nursery or this gift might just clash with the color scheme! Just like the traditional merry go round music boxes this one rotates as it plays so baby can be lulled to sleep watching the figures go round and round to tune of the melodious waltz.
Purchase at Amazon for $50.

A sleep sack is just so practical for new babies and this one goes one better, as it is made in 100% organic cotton. No more baby waking up cold because she kicked off the blankets, or getting them bunched over her face. This way she is securely tucked up for the night in breathable cotton that will prevent over-heating too and which is a good light weight for summertime and warmer climates. The organic cotton will appeal to eco-conscious mothers, as it is free of chemicals and preservatives, so better for baby and better for the environment. The pretty polka dot design will suit boys and girls alike and is a peaceful design for calming night-times. It comes in a small size for new-born babies and a medium for 6-12 months and has a clever inverted zipper design to allow for changing diapers at night without having to take baby right out of the sleepsack. A practical and thoughtful gift for a new mother.

This organic cotton sleep sack costs $19.05 at Amazon

I really liked the GoGo Kidz TravelMate when I reviewed it a few years ago, and a recent trip with my sister’s family reminded me just how cool and convenient this product is. The TravelMate is a set of wheels and a handle that attaches to most convertible and combination car seats. Instead of carrying the car seat through the airport, you can just roll it along, even with your baby or toddler buckled into it.

How to Foster Hip Baby Fashion

Save the day with a unique baby gift that’s sweetness and style wrapped in a smile! “Lollipop Loungewear,” brand-new and beautiful from Baby Aspen, is a brightly colored, three-piece layette set for the newborn jet set. The snappy hues are the perfect stimulation for contemplation, and the top-and-bottom style gives baby a break from that long parade of onesies.

What’s more, you don’t need to gift-wrap “Lollipop Loungewear.” The adorable lollipop gift presentation stands on its own, and besides, it would be awful tough to wrap with the lollipop stick tearing through the paper every time you try to wrap it. I’m hoping this is the first of a long line of “Lollipop Loungewear” from Baby Aspen—my sweet tooth is screaming with joy just thinking about all the “flavor” combinations still out there!

An appealing rattle for babies made of all natural cherrywood  polished with real beeswax, that is non-toxic and safe for teething on. The sanded smooth surfaces curve organically giving a natural sensory experience to baby hands. Each rattle is slightly different according to the grain of the wood, so this makes a unique gift for the green family, especially for moms who want to avoid too many chemical plastics in their baby’s life.  This wooden rattle is an affordable natural gift for baby showers priced at $14.99 on Amazon.

All natural organic cotton has been used for all the items and they are dyed with natural plant and mineral colors so are safe for baby to chew and suck. The cloth is nice and absorbent, and useful for mom, while the bunny is small enough for baby hands and bound to be a favorite companion in the crib as baby grows.
